Excerpt from Balsam Fir Dimension Lumber in Selected Minnesota Markets As discussed previously, the following techniques are thought to be necessary to make balsam fir studs widely acceptable in mid-western metropolitan markets: kiln dry ing, precision end-trimming (pet), eased edge (ee), end waxing or painting, grade stamping, and branding with a trade name. Grading and grade stamping are essen tial. Federal Housing Administration regula tions require that lumber used under their jurisdiction must be grade stamped under rules of an accredited association, such as the Northern Hardwood and Pine Manufacturers Association, Green Bay, Wis, or the Western Wood Products Association, Portland, Ore. If the material is to compete in metropolitan markets compliance with fha regulations Would appear to be an absolute necessity.
